<p>A ferrule member (12) for terminating fiber optic transmission members (13). The ferrule member is comprised of a body member (24) having a bore (26) extending therethrough along which the end of the fiber optic transmission member (13) extends. A section of said body includes a tip (23) having a reduced diameter section of said bore along which an exposed section of an optical fiber member (14) of the fiber optic transmission member (13) is disposed, said tip (23) being comprised of material having the same coefficient of thermal expansion in the axial direction as the optical fiber (14) in said transmission member (13) to overcome pistoning effects. The body section may comprise a liquid crystal polymer which may or may not contain filler. The body section may also comprise glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic or metal.</p> |
